| I have just come to this after reading the last chapter and notes from "The Twang of Tookish Bowstrings Part One". Between the author's notes, and some of the reviews, you expressed the notion that some readers will not read a story which is advertised as being primarily about an original character, or one which is canon, but a minor character. Back when it was newly posted, I read all thee way through "The Rescue" as you posted it. I became quite impressed with Ferdi's sister. She kept her wits about her, and her family safe, while playing a dangerous game of charming Lotho's ruffians out of valuable information to pass along to the Thain. At that time I had not read this one. Now I begin to get a glimpse of how she became that kind of strong-witted Hobbitess. The grown-up little lass who had wished she could don breeches and ride on the wagon box probably had a lot of empathy for her cousin who HAD to put them on and pass as a lad! Add my vote to working on whatever of you WIPs the Muse allows. Especially in The Shire, every canon character has dozens of cousins! The stories of any one of them add depth and color to the world out Good Professor created. Besides, You left this one, and "Rescue", and "Sleeping Dogs" at rather exciting places! (By-the-way, you can chalk my recent rush of reading old tales and reviewing to work being cut to 10 to 15 hours per week by the C-19 pandemic. But at least I am still working!) | |

| Ferdi and Rosemary with a happy family. There's a novelty. I wonder who the mute lad is. And what Ferdinand has found in the woods. Nothing good I'm sure! I look forward to finding out. | |
